No matter what your age or experience, Famous Fishing’s qualified instructors will save you hours of frustration and uncertainty. From the start, our focus is on clear explanation. We cover a range of subjects: equipment, fly-casting, fish behaviour and diet, safety and rivercraft - providing you with a solid foundation of the right skills for future success. Individual or group courses of one, two and three days are available with full equipment provided.

We also teach advanced casts and other presentation techniques needed to outwit the most testing fish. You can learn more about trout behaviour in a single day on a chalk stream than you might in a year on another river. Nowhere else do you get the opportunity to stalk fish of such size and quality in such shallow, clear water. If you are interested in entomology and fly tying, we can catch the natural nymphs and insects from the river, identify them, explain their life cycles and importance, and even tie the appropriate imitation right there on the river bank.

Famous Fishing's guides are all nationally recognized instructors, and can provide basic or advanced tuition depending on the ability of the client. Experts on all aspects of chalk streams - including their remarkable wildlife and history – they will show you where to look for and how to catch your trout, and you will find them patient, attentive and entertaining.
